Wow! Tennessee has an absolutely incredible amount of on-line information about poorhouses. I recently published a new website called The POORHOUSE STORY which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American Poorhouses at http://www.poorhousestory.com On our page where viewers can go to find poorhouse information by state http://www.poorhousestory.com/houses.htm we just sang your praises!! To see what we have listed so far for Tennessee ... just click on OTHER STATES to get a table and then click on TENNESSEE and you will be taken to http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_tennessee.htm Your comments are welcomed ... I am new at this web-publishing business <grin> ... and your comments are NEEDED. The site will only develop through the submissions of folks like you listers. Volunteers are also needed to transcribe existing information for posting. If you are interested in the historical or sociological implications of the poorhouse system, you will find TONS of info to explore. But if your interest is strictly genealogical, you may be most interested in the RECORDS page or the CEMETERY page -- as well as your own State page. Please do NOT respond to me through this list. (I would get FIRED and/or SUED by my ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists to which I am posting this announcement!) Please respond off-list ... or I may miss your post. Happy Hunting!
